far and near

Half a month before Yuan Liu was promoted to the third year of junior high school, Yuan Huifang, who regained some consciousness on the left side of his body, was finally discharged from the hospital.Instead of going to the hospital every day, Yuan Liu is busier at home.In addition to cooking, washing, and taking care of her mother, Yuan Huifang has to be turned over and massaged every few hours.The doctor said that the hemiplegic patient must prevent bed sores, and she must insist on physical therapy on the left side of her body, hoping not to give up.

Sometimes Yuan Liu admired herself, how could she still have the energy to think about Yu Ren and Bai Maosheng.After failing the exam at the end of the term and crying, Yuan Liu calmed down and reviewed her homework, and Yu Ren gave her a small test every week.After finishing the ten sets of papers, Yu Ren calculated the average score and said to Yuan Liu with satisfaction, "Xiao Liu, do you think it would be helpful to fill in the gaps during the summer vacation?" Yuan Liu felt bitter, and she said it would be helpful.After helping, sister Yu Ren went home.

She hoped that Yu Ren could issue ten additional sets of papers for herself, not to test subject knowledge, but to test how to get closer to her sister's heart.It's a pity that Yu Ren didn't know Yuan Liu's little wish. The day before she went home, she mentioned Bai Maosheng, saying that your sister Bai had a partner.Yuan Liu said with drooping face, I know.

She knows a lot of things, sophistication of the world, hot and cold world, firewood, rice, oil, salt... No matter how much adolescent children know, it is easy to fall into "rebellion": After school, Yu Ren sent three sets of new test papers to Yuan Liu. Say "no" to Yu Ren, "Sister, I have enough questions, and the school will send them out."

Yu Ren was surprised for a moment, thinking that he was ashamed when he was a sophomore in high school, so he understood that Xiao Liu was broken in love, after all, she said too much that she had a partner.She ignored one difference between herself and Yuan Liu: when it comes to reading, Yu Rencai loves it by nature, and has also formed a conscious habit.And Yuan Liu's study was brought into the Tao by Yu Ren. The root of this child's hard work is not for himself, but "my sister will like it" and "mother will be happy".

Doing more questions will not help you understand Yu Ren. After Yuan Liu helped Yuan Huifang turn over after lunch, she sat on her mother's bed in a daze.The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Yuan Huifang said slowly, "Are you tired?" Yuan Liu said, Mom, I'm not tired, so let me talk to you more.

She said, Mom, don't just watch TV when I'm not at home, I'll find you an easy book, and you can read from it, so you can practice speaking better.Yuan Huifang said yes, you can find me a recipe.Yuan Liu was encouraged by her mother, who never forgot her professional skills even when she was ill. She said, Mom, we will open the restaurant again when you recover!

open!Old paper wants to open ten or eight of them.After Yuan Huifang became paralyzed, she lost her saliva when she got excited. She wiped the paper with her right hand and smiled sheepishly, "I'm annoying."

Mom, Yuan Liu called her again, "Sister Yu Ren helped us return the store last time, but the items in it couldn't fit in our house, so I sold them."

It's ok, I'll buy a new one after I sell it.Isn't it just spending money?In the hospital, Yuan Huifang, who was not lying on the money when he was hospitalized for examination and medication, gradually figured it out.Money is a trivial matter, the main thing is that this illness made her understand who is the person she can really rely on, not those so-called relatives, let alone her ex-husband, but this child.

At this time Yuan Liu yawned, Yuan Huifang patted the bed, motioned her to come to his side for a nap, Yuan Liu kicked off his shoes, said Mom, I really don't have the habit of napping.Since she was a child, she has spent her noon time visiting shops, delivering meals or washing dishes, and she is not used to living idle all of a sudden.She lay next to Yuan Huifang and pretended to close her eyes. Her mother's rough fingertips ran through her hair, and then touched Yuan Liu's head. The daughter squeezed against her, and her body was still breathing warmly.

Yuan Huifang suddenly wanted to cry. She had been ridiculed for "not being able to lay eggs" before she borrowed one from relatives. She also only regarded Yuan Liu as a guarantee for her retirement, but people's hearts have changed over the years, she feels This child is truly his own.

"Mom—" Yuan Liu whispered.

"Eh".Yuan Huifang responded.

The mother and daughter calmed down, the daughter just buried her head lower under Yuan Huifang's body, and she sighed sullenly, this sigh was as helpless as an adult, Yuan Huifang found that Yuan Liu had indeed grown up.

The grown-up child often went to Internet cafes with Su Hai after Yu Ren came home, and went three times a week.Su Hai said that she usually played ten games, and would chat with Turgenevwa if she was around.This person is interesting, we can talk together.

This friend on Suhai Q is a male profile picture of the system, with braids and black sunglasses, he doesn’t look like a good thing. Looking at the information, he is [-] years old, and his diploma is also very suitable for Suhai’s taste. He said he was from Beijing. Graduated from Yanyuan Vocational and Technical College, majored in bricklaying.Yuan Liu felt that this person was nonsense, but Su Haixin asked if your technical college had a major in washing, cutting and blowing.

Su Hai and netizens are not talking about male star Tony Jack today, but about literature.This surprised Yuan Liu who was carefully watching the online articles.Turgenevwa said, "Spirit is based on substance, ambition is determined, and it is temperament." It is said that the writer's temperament is in the text, and the style of our architects is in the bricks and tiles. You cut So is the hair.

Su Hai, who couldn't understand this sentence at all, said that I didn't understand. I think these fancy words are just to make us ordinary people unable to study hard.Like our math teacher, I love to come up with questions that I can't solve.I don't cut my hair for temperament, I just want my customers to look good.So Turgenevwa praised Suhai to see whether a mountain is still a mountain, and there is a realm.

The bull-headed and horse-mouthed two talked happily and energetically. Yuan Liu saw that Su Hai was chatting so interestingly, so he turned his head and continued to slide the mouse to read the text on the webpage.Reading the classics introduced by Yu Ren since childhood has allowed Yuan Liu to develop a good reading taste. Generally, he can know the author's skills after reading two chapters.So she spent half of her time searching and screening, and she was really bored, so she found a brainless and sweet lily essay to pass the remaining ten minutes.

Su Hai didn't know when he stretched out his head to read it for a while, and said that I had read this article, but it was bloody, but they were quite sincere in their relationship, one gave money and the other spent money.

Yuan Liu was alarmed by her, and hurriedly closed the page, "I... I just browsed casually."

My best friend felt the smell of spicy strips, and after losing weight for two rounds, she stared at Yuan Liu's label with bigger eyes, but she didn't feel strange, "So you also watch Lily, come on, I'll take my I’ll give you a screenshot of my book list, I have a good collection.” Asking her what “good” means, Su Hai thought for a while, “Sweet.” He turned to ask Turgenevwa on Q, “Look at Lily’s text. ?"

The other party said look, and immediately pushed Janet Winterson's "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit".Su Hai said that I couldn't see the name at first glance. I was only in the third grade of junior high school, and I didn't like oranges.Are there any watermelons?

The girlfriends started chatting again, but Yuan Liu silently wrote down the title of the book.After this glance, Yuan Liu searched for this orange all over the street. She was not discouraged when she didn't buy it in any bookstore. She asked Su Hai that your netizen said last time that orange was the only one. I want to read it. Can you tell me where I can find it?

Su Hai said what did you ask her for?Xiaoliu, online piracy is everywhere, you can just download an e-book.Su Hai's search for e-books was as rich in structure as she did when washing her hair. She downloaded the novel to her mobile phone and transferred the format for Yuan Liu to read, "Well, just return it to me after reading it." place.

In the third year of junior high school, Su Hai counted the days and looked forward to graduation, and Yuan Liu spent time under the covers written by Sarah Waters, Janet Winterson, Patricia Highsmith and others. night.Sister Yu Ren once said, Xiao Liu, reading is a journey.The joy of spiritual life is different from material life. It is hidden and lonely, because only one or two percent of what you can read and say can be shared with others, and no one can even share it.

Yuan Liu would cry and laugh when she was fascinated by the reading, and wondered whether Yu Ren had also completed such journeys?

Su Hai reads novels in order to be "sweet". She is an upright girl who eats and does things as sincerely as she reads. She doesn't need those gullies in the spiritual world, and the little yellow flowers on the plain are enough.Yuan Liu is a person looking for Moses everywhere. As she walks, she finds that she is that Moses: the desert, the Red Sea, the scorching sun, the strong wind, the swamp, the forest...she has to go there by herself.

In addition to reading e-books, Yuan Liu also developed the habit of going to the library.Every Saturday when there is no class, she will arrange her home, ride her bicycle and rush there to immerse herself for a few hours.The more he decides his own life, the more he realizes how emaciated he used to be. Yuan Liu needs these few hours to let his body and mind relax.

Yuan Huifang said that it was the same when borrowing home to watch, while Yuan Liu said that the atmosphere was better there.The mother thought about it for a while, and said to bring water and food, don't worry about me.Another sign of a child growing up is the need for their own independent space.Yuan Huifang and Mao Xinxia were a little sad when they first talked about this matter.Mao Xinxia said that you are so sad, my family Xiaohai even said that he would not support me.Later, when I thought about it, this child didn't even care about her own mother, and it seemed that no one would be able to control her in the future, so I felt relieved.

Why do you have to find someone to pinch your own child?Does Liu Maosong make you comfortable?My two husbands pinched me to this day.Sister Huifang, Xiaoliu has her own opinions and doesn't cling to adults, so you don't have to worry about her.

Yuan Liu didn't know that her actions could make Yuan Huifang feel so much. She buried herself in the library to build her own reading map. This map covered the border drawn by Yu Ren and extended to the endless wasteland.She found the book "Between Mice and Men", and when they finished reading together the loneliness and despair that could not be avoided by the protagonist, a laugh came from behind her, and she turned her head, her eyes still bright, "Sister?"

Yu Ren held two books on economics, and she sat next to Yuan Liu, "May I have a look?" She was too busy these days to go to Yuan Huifang's house, and she only communicated with Xiao Liu by text message or phone call, but Yuan Liu obviously agreed with her. She spoke a lot less, but "good night" did not change.

She picked up the book and nodded, Xiao Liu will read it, this is a good book.

"It makes me sad. I think George and Lenny are the same person." Yuan Liu naturally talked to Yu Ren about his feelings. George is the real self, and Lenny is the dream self.It was only with Lenny that George could take a break from the reality of dissatisfaction.But he killed his friend in the end, and his ideal was shattered.She asked Yu Ren, "Sister, will the ideals of ordinary people be killed by reality in the end?"

Yu Ren's lips moved, looking at Yuan Liu's swaying eyes, "I feel that this book has written some commonalities of human beings, but it is also limited to that era and land." She fingered the somewhat old "Between Mice and Men", her eyes seemed to penetrate her own growth process, and finally Yu Ren said, "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future."

She sat down next to Yuan Liu, "Come on, let's go to self-study together." But Yu Ren read the book for a while, but quietly looked at Yuan Liu—it was she who led Yuan Liu into the strange but doomed spiritual path, What would the child have looked like if nothing had been done to intervene?

Yuan Liu turned her head at this time, she showed her white teeth to her sister, "I found another good book, sister, you are right, reading is a journey." Sitting beside her was Yu Ren, Yuan Liu bit her lower lip, Laughed again, "I will come every Saturday."

"Sister will come when she is free." Yu Ren also smiled.
